ok i am going to separate them from the parents because just in one night a few are missing and with no tankmates it means the parents are eating them. i will use a breeder box with a weak filter to "fan" the eggs and if i see any turn white i will be removing them by tweezers. sounds like a good plan i hope so. and for first food i have a pond with tons of algea normally for fry i tank a spoon of that algea out of my pond and i just drop it nere them and they eat the micro organisoms on it i would think this would work for the rams right. i will also be feeding baby brine shrimp
